Solution
Moment of inertia of a uniform rod of mass and length l about its perpendicular bisector. Moment of inertia of the rod
I = `1/12"ML"^2`

Increase in length of the rod when temperature is increased by ∆T, is given by
L’ = L(1 + αL∆T)
I’ = `"ML’"^2/12 = "M"/12"L"^2`(1 + αL∆T)2
I’ = I(1 + αL∆T)2
